Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - East Baldwin, ME.

A kind of payment help that some drug rehab facilities may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these programs provide assistance on an individual basis which can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular client. How this typically works is the individual will need to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment help and will have to provide information about how many dependents they have, proof of income, what their household overhead is, and the like. Based off this family and financial information intake admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in East Baldwin only makes $18,000 a year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas an individual who is single and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are offered, clients may need to seek further financial help to pay the discounted amount. Intake staff can help individuals or family who are footing the bill for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the client completes rehabilitation.
